What if it takes a monster to save a kingdom?
I'll never forget the sight of my little sister's lifeless body—or that my rogue magic killed her.
Sorcery like mine is punishable by death. So I live in the shadows, stealing from the corrupt to give to the needy. Maybe a little good can wash the blood from my hands.
It seems like a decent plan... until I try to help a dying noblewoman and somehow steal her soul instead.
Now her ghost is demanding I take up the quest that got her killed: exposing a conspiracy at the royal college to unleash a deadly power on the entire kingdom.
Do I want to infiltrate the cutthroat world of haughty elites? Gods, no. But if I can save the kingdom, I could save my own soul too.
So I'll pose as a refined lady, attending their classes and fancy balls, sneaking and spying like I learned on the streets. But I can't tackle this threat alone. I'll need to win the trust of the dead woman's allies: four arrogant noblemen.
Four damaged yet dangerously enticing men. No matter what they stir in my heart, I can't afford to let them get too close.
Because if they discover the monstrous things I'm capable of, saving my soul will be the least of my worries...
*Thief of Silver and Souls is the first in a new fantasy romance series full of forbidden magic, impossible love, hot damaged men, and a rebellious heroine who's so much more than she imagines.*

Even though it is an RH, the relationship takes a back seat in this book. It's a slow burn, even with some M/F smex. The main concern is saving their world and the building of the world is a complex and fantastic fantasy.
I will be coming back for the next book. It is just a little intense after I finished an intense book before and my book hangover demands something with more wins maybe... I just have this feeling the next book will be filled with more twists and death and fighting for our FMC. The MMCs right now are distant and there is no POV from their side in this book, but I'm guessing that changes.
Anyway, the book ends with a cliffhanger.

I enjoyed Ivy as a Robin Hood character and although the whole book is from her POV, a big part of the engagement for me was the secrets surrounding her character and situation on top of the mystery and conspiracy plots. This is a definite page turner and is very much a paranormal mystery with romance elements. It's slow burn on the romance front and I'd love to see some of the guys POV's in future instalments. However, given the amount of set up and world building in this first book I found having Ivy's single POV easier to follow.
Michelle Sparks is a new to me narrator and I really enjoyed her performance particularly in the scenes with Julita and Ivy. There are a lot of characters in this and several scenes with multiple people and Sparks brought them all to life in such a way it was easy to follow who was who.
Looking forward to book two as when the plot really got going it had so many twists and turns. The action in the last few chapters really took it up a notch for me and I'm excited to see what come next.
My interpretation of the star system;
3 stars - I enjoyed it; would read the author again
4 stars - I really liked it; I am invested and definitely want more from this author/series
5 stars - I loved it; I engaged with this book completely and I have added all the authors works to my TBR
Fantastic World Building
